What I love about this recipe:
The ultimate mash-up: I’ve taken my favorite Biscuits and Gravy recipe, and mashed it with a traditional egg breakfast casserole, to create the perfection that is this Biscuits and Gravy Casserole.
Make ahead: You can make the entire casserole in advance, or even freeze it, making it perfect for holidays or breakfast with company.
How to make Biscuits and Gravy Casserole:
Brown sausage in a large saucepan. Use a paper towel to blot out most of the grease from the pan then add flour, butter, and half & half. Cook on medium-low, stirring often, for several minutes until thickened.
Cut biscuit dough into pieces and place half of the dough along the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch pan.
Mix eggs, milk and spices and pour mixture over the biscuits. Spoon sausage gravy on top, then sprinkle with cheese. Add remaining biscuit dough pieces on top.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-45 minutes or until eggs have set and biscuits are golden. Serve this easy biscuits and gravy casserole with a side of fresh fruit.
Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
To Make Ahead: Prepare biscuit casserole and just before baking, cover and refrigerate for up to one day. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.

This is my 3rd year in a row making this recipe for my family for Christmas Day brunch and it’s officially a tradition! A few things I did differently:
🎄 I doubled the sausage gravy recipe and put half in the casserole and saved the other half to top each serving!
🎄 I added loads of fresh ground black pepper to the sausage gravy because we love pepper! I also added a sprinkle of red pepper flakes because we also like it spicy.
🎄 I replaced the vegetable shortening with unsalted butter because…butter.
🎄 I used my Christmas cookie cutters to cut out festive shapes for the biscuits on top. So cute!
I highly recommend this recipe!! I wish I could share a picture of mine.
Awesome, easy recipe, co-workers loved it.
Excellent!
I made this for brunch one weekend and was impressed with how well it turned out. I would definitely make it again. I’d love some ideas to punch the flavor up a bit, though, if you have any!
I’d think there are a few things you could do. You could add finely chopped onion or chives with the egg layer. Top with green onions and/or diced tomato when served. A 1/2 t of dry mustard added with the other spices could be nice. I hope this helps.
This was WONDERFUL. I made a few mistakes, such as not seeing that only SOME of the biscuits would be scattered on the bottom of the pan and the rest on top. I put them all in the bottom. I used butter instead of shortening. I was also out of block cheese and ended up using some sliced mild cheddar layered on top of the eggs mixture. It still turned out absolutely perfect and delicious. I will likely double the gravy next time, but otherwise, just great. All five of the kids at our house ate and had seconds. Major win!
I made for my family and our parish Priests. Everyone loved it. I think I will make some additional gravy to serve on the side.
My eggs took 45+ minutes to set and by the time they did my biscuits were almost if not burnt. What should I do next time? We live about 5200 above sea level…..
My daughter has Celiac’s.
I’ve learned tricks for making gravies gluten free.
Any thoughts on making the biscuits gluten-free?
If I double this, would I use 2 cans of biscuits? It still says one when I hit the 2x. Also, would it change time to cook?
Yes! 2 cans of biscuits.
Would this work with frozen store bought biscuits?
Yes!
Made this on a limb. It was a family hit!! They are begging for me to make it again!! Also super simple
We made this for Christmas breakfast, and my family LOVED it. Making it right now for a Friday night meal. Yum-O!
We strayed from our go-to Christmas morning casserole to make this biscuits and gravy casserole and all I can say is Thank You! It was delicious and my family raved about it! Unlike the previous casserole, I loved how I could make this in advance, which made the whole Christmas morning more enjoyable – not just me in the kitchen prepping food. This will for sure be our new go-to for Christmas!
Made this yesterday for a potluck and had nothing to bring home! Everyone was so impressed! The flavors, textures, and combination was awesome. Highly recommend following the biscuit recipe. It seriously gives you that punch! Making this for Christmas Eve breakfast for sure!
So much goodness in this recipe. Your biscuits and gravy have become a family staple so I was excited to come across this casserole. I love how it’s all in one dish – eggs, gravy, and the biscuits. We loved it!
